Dusty Johnson Raises Over $1 Million in First Quarter
Mitchell, S.D. – Today, Congressman Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) announced that hundreds of South Dakotans from 50 communities helped him raise more than $1 million in the first quarter. This record-breaking quarter leaves Johnson with $6.8 million cash-on-hand across his campaign committees. More than 80% of the individual donations to Johnson’s committees came from South Dakota citizens.
“I’m honored by the support we have received,” said Johnson. “Clearly, folks are excited about our progress securing the border, standing up to China, and advancing conservative policies. I’m a workhorse, not a showhorse, and I’ll continue to roll up my sleeves and deliver for South Dakota.”
Johnson’s fundraising entities include Friends of Dusty Johnson (campaign committee), Dakota Leadership PAC (federal) and Dusty PAC (state). Detailed campaign finance reports will be filed and available in advance of due dates for the respective committees.

Holy s***. Never underestimate Dusty Johnson.
The wackadoodles will be overrun
This kind of fundraising is solidly in “Majority Leader John Thune” fundraising territory, but clearly a record for a South Dakota Congressional Race. And especially so, given how much of it came from in-state.
That’s insane
Slightly better than the SDGOP.
For those of you who think Toby Doeden’s money scares Dusty, think again. He already has this kind of money, and is notorious for having the best ground game in state history. He will outwork anyone and everyone. This governor’s race is his.
No one should ever underestimate Dusty Johnson.
His biggest hurdle is a guy named Larry and a guy named Marty fracturing the field.
They will fracture it to a degree, but the most fracturing will occur in the west river vote. Marty and Larry will really only hurt each other. And if what I’m told is correct, at least one of them knows it.
Larry a guy with 90 grand isn’t what I’d define as a hurdle for Dusty.
Wow, just wow
If your Larry or Marty you really need to consider your chances in a governors race. With 14 months until the Republican primary, you could raise $50k PER WEEK and not have half of what Dusty has in cash on hand.
Agreed.
Yeah, it’s just not smart. No way to win against Dusty.
Wow, the grift is strong with this one.
